Monday Doorways, Our World Tuesday, Gouda, Lazarus Gate I

Lazarusgate (1609) gateway to the medieval Catharina Hospital, which is a museum now, and gives access to the museum and the museum garden where you can have coffee, soup or a meal.

Welcome to the first week of Our World Tuesday! This meme continues in memory of the work of Klaus Peter, whose "that's My World" brought people together from around the world every Monday to share the wonders therein--big and small.See our new logo for "Our World Tuesday" in the sidebar.

Inspired by a post by Eric Tenin of a Parisian doorway, «Louis» began posting on Mondays photos he had taken of doorways in Paris.To participate click on

All day I have been thinking of the people who have to face Irene. On TV we see Irene's devastating power, destroying everything that's in its way. May God help them.

Calling by from Our World Tuesday, I am delighted to be part of this community and look forward to sharing photos with you and getting to know your part of the world. An interesting post, I love doors and post them on my blog as well, not often enough though.

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.

About Me

I was born in Rotterdam in December, 1933, raised in Indonesia on the Isle of Java. During the war I was a prisoner of a Japanese concentration camp for women. After the war my parents, sisters and I returned to the Netherlands. I became a teacher, married, got three children and five grandchildren. One daughter lives in Australia, where I regularly visit her. My husband died in 1999 and has not seen our youngest grandchildren.

En himmel full av stjerner

A heaven full of starsBlue seas as far as you can seeA world where flowers growCan you ask for anything more?We shall live togetherEvery sister and every brotherSmall children of the rainbowAnd a blossoming world.
